“Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring THE END FROM THE BEGINNING (capitals mine), and from ancient times THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT YET DONE (capitals mine), saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.”
Isaiah 46:9-10
We all know God gave us His Holy Word, the Bible, to read to discover His purpose for us and His plan for this world. Many satanically inspired people may question whether the Bible is truly from God because man wrote it, and men make mistakes! For me it is absolutely inconceivable that the Creator of the universe would allow man to make mistakes in the one thing He gave us which He intended to educate and lead us in our Faith. As He closes out the Bible in the Book of Revelation, He is adamantly clear that He wrote it!
“For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If ANY MAN (capitals mine) shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written IN THIS BOOK; (capitals mine) And if ANY MAN (capitals mine) shall take away FROM THE WORDS OF THIS BOOK (capitals mine) of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. He which testifies these things saith Surely, I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”
Revelation 22:18-20
In other words, between the Scriptures quoted from Isaiah and Revelation above, we can rest assured Jesus Himself not only gave His Word to us but assured us it was exactly what He wanted us to read, study and understand. He wanted nothing added or subtracted from what He told the prophets to write. Yes, Satan will do everything he can to corrupt God’s message when he can, but we may all be comforted by reading and studying the Bible and with the help of the Holy Spirit, know we are hearing exactly what Jesus has said and that it is 100% accurate!
“Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it? Surely the Lord God WILL DO NOTHING, BUT HE REVEALETH HIS SECRET UNTO HIS SERVANTS THE PROPHETS (capitals mine).”
Amos 3:6-7
So, what does this all have to do with this week’s subject of specific numbers in Bible prophecy that as of today have yet to be fulfilled? The fact that prophecy by definition is telling us things which will happen BEFORE they actually happen lends phenomenal accuracy to believe ALL which has been prophesied in the Bible. There are many, many things prophesied to happen in these Last Days which have not yet occurred, but which will soon come to fruition. If I told you the Yankees would beat the Dodgers in the 2025 World Series, you might believe me if you are a fan of the Yankees. If I told you, they would win in Game 5 by a score of 4-2 in 10 innings and that happened exactly as I said, you would probably sit back and hopefully take notice. If I gave you 30 EXACT games and scores today prophesied over 2,000 years ago, you would be in total shock!!
Well, guess what? The Bible tells us specifically what will happen during a period of approximately 7 years! Israel will be invaded by 6 “countries” who will be defeated in one day. Five of the six invaders will die on the mountains of Northern Israel, and it will take 7 months to bury the dead and 7 years to burn their implements of war. A peace treaty will then be confirmed by the anti-christ and between Israel and her neighbors starting the final 7 years of Tribulation, aka the 70th week of Daniel. History has clearly shown us the first 69 weeks (483 years) have already occurred and only 7 remain to happen. 10 nations will give their power and authority to the anti-christ. Later, the anti-christ will overthrow 3 of the 10. His ultimate power over the earth will last for 42 months. During the 7 years of Tribulation ONE HALF of the world will die in wars, famine and pestilence (1/4 in the first Wrath and then 1/3 will be killed of those remaining alive when power is given to the kings of the east in the 7th Vial Judgements). During this time there will be a number of events affecting 1/3 of the trees, the water, ships destroyed, sea life, etc. Eventually the only way to be able to buy or sell anything will require submission to the anti-christ by taking the number of his name, the number 666. In God’s mercy He will send 144,000 Israeli evangelicals, 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes, along with 2 witnesses, to tell the entire world about the Promises of God. Those who do take the Mark of the Beast will be tormented by “locusts” for 5 months, to the point they will want to die rather than to continue to go through the anguishing pain and torment. But death will evade them! Near the end, 4 demons will be released from the Euphrates River to kill the 1/3 of mankind spoken about above and will bring forth an army of 200 million soldiers from the east. There will be a terrible earthquake in the world destroying 1/10th of Jerusalem and killing 7,000 people the same day the 2 witnesses are resurrected from the dead and rise to heaven. Need I go on? These are all extremely specific prophecies with exact numbers associated with each. OK, below are those exact Scriptures giving us God’s very specific Promises of His Wrath towards an unbelieving world.
Below are 30 very specific prophecies which have yet to occur that we have been told will happen, but we have also been told they will happen with a very specific number to validate what the Bible has said. I am not a mathematician but for all 30 specific prophesied events written thousands of years ago to happen during a very short period of time and with the exact numbers associated with their occurrence to ALL become 100% accurate is a possibility beyond our human comprehension. Ultimately it simply confirms an Omniscient God.
Let me give you an example of what I am saying on a specific prophecy made thousands of years ago which has already been miraculously fulfilled. Could the nation of Israel be born in ONE day?
“Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in ONE DAY? OR SHALL A NATION BE BORN AT ONCE? (capitals mine) for as soon as Zion (Israel) travailed, she brought forth her children.”
Isaiah 66:8
If you are aware of the founding of modern-day Israel, it happened in ONE day, May 14, 1948! This was after the Jews had been dispersed for almost 2,000 years around the world and had seen nearly one third of their global population slaughtered during the WWII Holocaust. Churches around the world had repeatedly declared there was absolutely no way the Jews could ever return to their God Promised land of Israel which caused Replacement Theology (the notion the Church had replaced God’s Promise to Abraham/Israel) to flourish. But God was true to His Word and in ONE day, on May14, 1948, after the United Nations agreed to recognize their Independence, the Nation of Israel was reborn.
So, what are these 30 other specific prophecies?
1. – 6 specifically named ancient countries (#1Magog aka Russia, #2 Gomer aka parts of Eastern Europe, #3 Beth Togarmah aka Turkey, #4 Persia aka Iran, #5 Put aka Libya and #6 Cush aka Ethiopia & Sudan) will invade Israel in the latter days and will be destroyed by God in 1 day.
“Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of MAGOG (#1 Russia – capitals mine), the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will bring thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: PERSIA (#2 Iran – capitals mine #4), CUSH (#3 Ethiopia – capitals mine), and PUT (#4 Libya – capitals mine) with them; all of them with shield and helmet: GOMER (#5 Turkey and possibly parts of Eastern Europe – capitals mine) and all his bands; the house of TOGARMAH (#6 Turkey – capitals mine) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.”
Ezekiel 38:2-6
2. – 5 of every 6 of the Gog and Magog invaders will die on the northern mountains of Israel because of God’s Wrath.
“And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:”
Ezekiel 39:2
3. – After the War of Gog and Magog it will take the Israelis 7 months to bury the dead invaders.
“And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.”
Ezekiel 39:12
4. – It will also take the Israelis 7 years to burn the implements of war.
“And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire SEVEN YEARS (capitals mine).”
Ezekiel 39:9
5. – 70 weeks of years (490) (7 + 62 = 69 are past, 1 is yet to come) This prophecy from Daniel as already been proven true with 49 years and 434 years having already passed. That leaves 7 years for the Final week which is known as Daniel’s 70th week and the Tribulation, the final week of 7 years before Jesus Returns. The 69 “weeks” are most frequently understood as the historical time period of 69 weeks (483 years) which began with the decree given to Ezra by Artaxerxes I in 458/7 BCE to rebuild Jerusalem and ends with the baptism of Jesus. The final week of 7 years begins with the signing of the Peace Covenant by the anti-christ and Israel and her enemies and ends with the triumphant Return of Jesus Christ at Armageddon.
“Seventy weeks (490 years) are determined upon thy people (Jews) and upon thy holy city (Jerusalem), to finish transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophesy, and to anoint the most Holy (Jesus). Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the prince shall be seven weeks (7 weeks’ time = 49 days = 49 years), and threescore and two weeks (62 weeks = 434 days = 434 years): the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off (Jesus’s crucifixion), but not for himself: and the people (Romans/European countries) of the prince that shall come (the anti-Christ) shall destroy the city (Jerusalem) and the sanctuary (Holy Temple); and the end shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.”
Daniel 9:24-26
6. It will take roughly a “penny” (a full day’s wages) to earn enough to buy 1 “measure” of wheat or 3 “measures” of barley for a penny. Simply put, inflation and lack of food will cost everything earned in a day to go toward buying only enough food for one person. I read into this since oil and wine is not affected, the rich will not be affected by this famine.
“And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and wine.”.
Revelation 6:6
7. – A group of 10 nations will give their power to the anti-christ.
“And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast (anti-christ). These have one mind and shall give their power and strength unto the beast (anti-christ).”
Revelation 17:12-13
8. – The anti-christ will overthrow 3 of the 10 nations to consolidate his power.
“And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another (the anti-christ) shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.”
Daniel 7:24
9. – The anti-christ shall rule the world for 42 months.
“And there was given unto him (the anti-christ) a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months (3 1/2 years).”
Revelation 13:5
10. – Daniel’s 70th week (1 week of years =7 years) heralds in the Tribulation. Here we learn in the middle of the week (7 years) AFTER the anti-christ signs the Peace Covenant between Israel and her enemies, that halfway through the 7 weeks, at 3 1/2 years, the anti-christ will enter into the by then rebuilt Jewish Temple and desecrate it making it no longer Holy.
“And he (the anti-christ) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (7 year Tribulation): and in the midst of the week (at 3 1/2 years) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease (Jewish 3rd Temple rituals), and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate (aka Abomination of Desolation), even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate (Jesus Christ’s Second Coming at Armageddon).”
Daniel 9:27
11. – 1/4 of world population will die due to the 7 Seal Judgements being released. This will happen through war, famine, pestilence, etc.
“And I looked, and behold a pale horse; and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”
Revelation 6:8
12. – Another 1/3 of mankind will die in war. This will be directly related to the 200 million man army from the east who will march towards Jerusalem, and they will be allowed to kill one third of those remaining on the earth.
“By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.”
Revelation 9:18
13. – Many different wraths unleashed against the world with 1/3 of different things affected exactly as John describes it.
“The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part olf the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.”
Revelation 8:7-12
14. – A Peace Covenant from the anti-christ will be signed between Israel and many others for 7 years but he will go against the agreement after 3 1/2 years.
“And he (the antichrist) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (7 years): and in the midst of the weeks (after 3 1/2 years) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate (never again to be used by Jews as their Holy Temple), even until the consumption, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.”
Daniel 9:27
15. – The Mark of the Beast, which will be the same as the number of a man (666), will be forced by the false prophet on all in order they might be able to buy or sell. If Christians are alive at that time and they know this prophecy, they will understand who the anti-christ is by his Mark, name and its numerical value.
“And he (the false prophet) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast (anti-christ), or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (666).”
Revelation 13:16-18
16. – Those without the Seal of God who HAVE taken the Mark of the Beast will be horribly tormented by demons/locusts for 5 months.
“And it was commanded them (the locusts) that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was the torment was the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.” “And they had tails like unto scorpions, and their power was to hurt men five months.”
Revelation 9:4-5,10
17. – Rebuilding the 3rd Jewish Temple. While there is nowhere in the Bible where the Temple is specifically mentioned as being rebuilt, common sense of the Scripture below indicates the 3rd Temple must be around (remember the 1st Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians and the 2nd Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D.) in order for the anti-christ to defile it at the Abomination of Desolation. Only in the Temple can the Jews sacrifice and worship!
“And he (the antichrist) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (7 years): and in the midst of the weeks (after 3 1/2 years) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate (never again to be used by Jews as their Holy Temple), even until the consumption, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.”
Daniel 9:27
18. – 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets, 7 vials. This is God’s Wrath being poured out on the world for their unrepentant sin. It will be the worst time in human history and if Jesus did not shorten the days of Tribulation, the entire world would be destroyed. Each Judgement seal is opened by Jesus, the only One capable of doing so because He alone died for our sins. I encourage you to read the prophecies as outlined below to see exactly what is coming during the Tribulation, both the first half as well as the second half also called the Great Tribulation.
7 Seal Judgements – Revelation 6
7 Trumpet Judgements – Revelation 8:6-21
7 Vial Judgements – Revelation 16:1-21
19. – 3 1/2 years after the anti-christ signs the covenant, he will enter the rebuilt Temple and proclaim himself to be God, an event referred to in both the Old and New Testament as the Abomination of Desolation.
“Who (the anti-christ) opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?”
2 Thessalonians 2:4-5
“And the king (anti-christ) shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.”
Daniel 11:36
20. – 144,000 Jews, 12,000 from each of 12 tribes will be selected, sealed and protected in order to attempt to evangelize the world during the Tribulation, a sign that God’s Grace does not want one person to die and go to hell.
“And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the (12) tribes of the children of Israel.”
Revelation 7:4
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.”
Revelation 14:1
21. – 2 witnesses from God will prophesy and perform great miracles for 1,260 days, and they will then be killed by the anti-christ. The entire world will see this in real time, something only now possible since the invention of TV, the internet and satellite TV.
“And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and three score days (1,260), clothed in sackcloth.” “And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast (anti-christ) that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.”
Revelation 11:3, 7
22. – Their bodies will lie in the streets of Jerusalem for 3 1/2 days and then come back to life. I believe you can imagine the fear the entire world will feel when they see these two witnesses who have perplexed the world with their judgements have been dead and laying in the streets miraculously come back to life and ascend into heaven right in front of their eyes.
“And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.”
Revelation 11:11
23. – 42 months or 1,290 days later after the anti-christ performs the Abomination of Desolation Christ Returns at Armageddon. Notice there is a difference here in days between 1,260 days and 1,290 days. Most believe this extra 30 days is the time period the anti-christ will be given to gather all his armies from all over the earth to come to Armageddon and battle Jesus Christ when He Returns.
“And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.”
Daniel 12:11
24. – 4 of the most evil “angels” ever bound by the Euphrates River will be loosed to wreak havoc on the earth. Many believe these have been in captivity because of how evil they are and are now allowed to cause death and destruction.
“Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.”
Revelation 9:14-15
25. – 200 million man Army from the east. It is interesting to note that at the time John wrote this prophecy, it is believed there were not even 200 million people alive on the earth. Today, China boasts they can assemble an army of 200 million. I also find it interesting that John did not count the 200 million but was told the exact number of them giving additional credibility to the fact God wants us to know what He is about to do.
“And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand (200 million): AND I HEARD THE NUMBER OF THEM (capitals mine).”
Revelation 9:16
26. – One tenth of the City of Jerusalem will be destroyed by a terrible earthquake and this happens the same day the 2 witnesses are raised from the dead and ascend to Heaven
“And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth (1/10) part of the city fell,…”
Revelation 11:13
27. – 7,000 Jews will die in Jerusalem at the time of the great earthquake above. Fortunately, those left alive in Jerusalem will be fearful, but they will recognize and give glory to God for what he has done EXACTLY as He said He would!
“…and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand (7,000): and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.”
Revelation 11:13
28. – Jesus will throw the 2 (anti-christ and false prophet) into hell when He Returns at Armageddon.
“And the beast (anti-christ) was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire of burning with brimstone.”
Revelation 19:20
29. – 1,000 years of Jesus Christ’s Millennium reign on earth will follow Jesus’s Return at Armageddon and Satan will be held in bondage for 1,000 years until the end at which time he will be released for a “short time” to lead a very short rebellion against God before he is also thrown into hell.
“And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand (1,000) years.”
Revelation 20:1-2
30. – The size and measurements of the New Jerusalem will be 1,500 miles wide, 1,500 miles long and 1,500 miles high. Now, in all honesty it doesn’t say whether this is a cube or pyramid, but it is THE New Jerusalem where Christ will reign FOREVER! And God told us specifically how big it will be!
“And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth (width): and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs (a furlong is approximately 1/8th of a mile long. Therefore, 12,000 furlongs equals 1,500 miles). The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.”
Revelation 21:16
Please take note. The vast majority of these specific prophecies will be fulfilled during the 7-year time period known as the Tribulation. At the conclusion of the 7 years, Jesus will defeat the anti-christ and false prophet and throw them into hell forever. He will put Satan into a bottomless pit for His 1,000-year Millennium reign on earth. But as Believers we have nothing to fear of these prophecies! Because these are the penalties from God to punish those who have not accepted Jesus as their Savior and who have not repented of their sins. How do we know we will miss out on these terrible events? Jesus told us so!
“Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I ALSO WILL KEEP THEE FROM THE HOUR OF TEMPTATION (capitals mine), which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.”
Revelation 3:10
Jesus Himself told us He would keep those who believe in Him, acknowledge He died for our sins and ask Him for forgiveness will NOT have to endure the worst time period in human history. To me, nothing could be more comforting to know we have nothing to fear since we will be Raptured away before His Wrath is unleashed. Unfortunately, we all have friends and family who have not accepted Him as their Savior who will endure some or all of these terrible things (remember 1/2 of all alive at the beginning of the Tribulation will die during it). If they die without accepting Jesus, they will be going to hell! I ask for you to “…therefore comfort one another with these words.” It is not too late today for them, but the clock is moving quickly so please Like this post on Facebook or LinkedIn and share it with your friends and family. And pray they listen to the Holy Spirit speaking to their hearts.
May God Bless you as we await His soon Return!
